In his forthcoming article on PHARAOH
in the May Century, Professor j. A. Paine
(who will be remembered as the identifier of
Mt. Pisgah) advances tie novel theory that
Rameses the Great married bis own daughter,
the patroness Of Moses. II has been held by
some authorities that this ''Pharaoh's daugh-
ter was the child Of Seti l., who preceded
Rameses the Great, and that in uniting herself
to Ramcses she married her own brother
Professor Paine, however, points out ndica,
tions and evidence proving that she was not
the daughter. but the granddaughter, of Sct
and that she married her own father.

Her dainty form in sleeps embrace
Seems trustfuly to rest.
Her waXen lips are just the twain

And hers the folded lids that hid
Her glad eyes from the light.

She is not hidden there;

Her bird upon hi -ided perch

Lest the refrain from hi >ad notes

But all it, flower, seem dead.

Here are the dolls her fingers touched.
The ribbons that ~hc wore;

And Hiss them Der and Der

Palcd on her golden hair;
But it, bright beams Of fine-spun gold
Could not with It compare.
There's dust upon bcr cradle quilt
Dust on her picture-hook;
But everything my baby loved
Has the same wi,lful look.

the Washington Herald. He came out
of the Italian campaign ending i'll 1850
with $1,000, 900, according TO his own &C
count This he maintained was his
private property. Taking the state
ments he made TO his friends and others
at st. Helena he must have hidden
away when he left France the last time
the enormous sum of $40, coo. 900, or 200,
0O0,000 francs. This would make him
very much the wealthieSt man in the
world. for that sum then was equal in
influence to $500, 100000 now. No SOW
ereign of his time could begin
to approach him in personal
fortune. Marshal SOult, the last of
the imperial marShalS (whO died
in November, 1851, just about a year be-
fore his great antagonist, the duke OF
Wellington, told a venerable French
general officer. who repeated it to the
writer, that when the emperor went to
Eliza he had 10000, 900 francs covered up
in Paris alone. OF the Sl2,000.000 hard
cash paid over at one time by the United
States to Napoleon as first consul in
1913 it was common rumor-not very
general. you may be sure, however
that 100000 francs of the sum was
never accounted for in vouchers. This
might easily have been. Napoleon was
then first consul for life. He could do
just what he chose and nobody dared
call him to account. 1t is not
very difficult to hide money in
large sums, too, so it cannot be found,
be the search ever so careful. Ferdi-
nand Ward has some millions thus COW
cred up, and no human being has ever
yet found elew to the stolen treasure.
1t was said and believed by many peO-
pie that Stephen Girard, of Philadel-
phia, had a large sum in his hands be-
longing TO Napoleon /, which he would
have handed over to him had he sue
ceeded in getting away to the United
States after Waterloo. as he tried to do.
Louis XVIII. through his minister of
finance. did all in his power TO discover
this hidden treasure, but those who
knew would never tell. They probably
took it themselves when the emperor
died, in 1921. But it is very interest
ing and romantic story, the disappear
ance absolutely of the greatest fortune
in the worlds history up to that time,
leaving not a trace behind

Examining a Bank.

NEW YORK, Nov 2S.-The Ninth Az

state bank examiner. The statement of
the banks condition Sept, II last showed
resources of 1858, 227 and liabilities to
depositOrS, banks and trust companies
of S245.942. There was $50, 600 due from
certain directors. How much Cashier
Hubbard has loaned without consulting
the directors is still unknown. 1t is
known he discounted notes made or en-
dorsed by William G.. Jones. one of the
directors, who was president of the
North Belleville Quarry company, which
went into the hands of a receiver last
August. There are number of judg-
ments against him. The bank also has
notes or endorsements of NJ. E. Inger-
soil, late treasurer of the Potter 81
StymuS Manufacturing company. Di-
rector Arnold said to-day that the col
lateral securities OH which the loans of
Jones and Ingersoll were made are suffi-
cient to pay the claims. Other directors
say that depoSitors will be paid in full,
but that the directors and stockholders

told ''they have really forgotten or
'never knew" says Washington cor
respondent of the San Francisco Chron-
icle. Vague reports have fitted through
the press at times that her remains
were lying in POtter's field, or
that they were given to medical
college. Not half the people in Wash
ingtOn know what disposition was made
of them when the old arsenal grounds
were remOdeled and the bodies taken
away. Finding that the bodies of Wirz
and Mrs. Surratt were inferred in Mount
Olivet, your correspondent went out to
this beautiful home of the dead and
visited the noted graves. about which
there has been so much wild Specula-
ton. The sexton met the inquiry for
the grave of Mrs. Surratt with a very
significant smile, that he explained
as follows: 1.-THE curiosity to
see her grave would have kept
guide busy all the time for the first few
years after she was buried here said
he. I'VE could not spend time to show
people the grave, SO we used to direct
them as we'll as we could and let them
find it for themselves. There is one
curious thing, though. No one who has
said anything about it in print has ever

the main road, the lot containing the re-
mains of Mrs. Surratt was reached, ly-
ing near and facing the extreme eastern
boundary Of the cemetery. 1t is the very,
last row of lots on that side of the
grounds. The lot was donated by
friend, and is large, well laid-out lot.
containing the one neglected grave.
Some time ago man was erecting a
monument ON his lot, and an old dis
carded stone that was taken down he
wondered what he should do with.
Finally an idea occurred to him to do
nate it TO Mrs. Surratt" 1t was ae-
cOrdingly set up at her grave as head
stone, the original name was cut off, and
Mrs. Surratt'' inscribed plainly across
it. 1t is an old. plain marble slab, about
four feet high, and stands in leaning
position. The grave of the keeper of
AnderSonville is single grave in a lot
nearer TO the main entrance. The man
who buried him is still employed at the
cemetery, and as he identified the grave
he kicked one foot against small block
of stone.
